This scanner supports the following host interfaces through communication with a cradle:

• Standard RS-232 connection to a host.

• Keyboard wedge connection to a host, where scanned data is interpreted as keystrokes. The following international keyboards are supported (for Windows™ environment): North American, German, French, French Canadian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Japanese, and Brazilian-Portuguese.

• IBM® 468X/469X hosts.

• USB connection to a host. The scanner autodetects a USB host and defaults to the HID keyboard interface type. Select other USB interface types by scanning programming bar codes. The following international keyboards are supported (for Windows™ environment): North America, German, French, French Canadian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Japanese, and Brazilian-Portuguese.

• Synapse capability, which allows connection to a wide variety of host systems using a Synapse cable and Synapse adapter cable. The scanner autodetects the Synapse interface.

• Configuration via 123Scan.

Unpacking the ScannerRemove the scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the scanner was damaged in transit, contact the Zebra Global Customer Support Center. See page xv for contact information. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container and should be used if the equipment ever needs to be returned for servicing.

The CradleThe cradles serve as a stand and charger for the LS3578 cordless scanner. Some models also provide a host communication interface. There are four versions of the cradle:

• The STB3508 cordless cradle sits on a desktop or mounts on a wall, and charges the LS3578 cordless scanner. An external power supply or a powered host cable charges the scanner.

• The STB3578 cordless cradle sits on a desktop or mounts on a wall, and charges the LS3578 cordless scanner This cradle also provides host communication by receiving scanner data via a Bluetooth radio, and sending that data to the host through an attached cable. An external power supply or a powered host cable charges the scanner.

• The FLB3508 cordless cradle charges the LS3578 cordless scanner. The cradle attaches to a mounting bracket using three isolators, and the bracket then mounts on the forklift surface. A portable power supply on the forklift provides power to the cradle.

• The FLB3578 cordless cradle charges the LS3578 cordless scanner, and provides host communication by receiving scanner data via a Bluetooth radio, and sending that data to the host through an attached cable. The cradle attaches to a mounting bracket using three isolators, and the bracket then mounts on the forklift surface. A portable power supply on the forklift provides power to the cradle.

DO NOT use these cradles with a LS3478 scanner. Likewise, DO NOT use cradles designed for the LS3478 to charge or provide communication for a LS3578 scanner.

For more information about mounting options and procedures, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.

NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables, or the scanner may not recognize the new host.

Different cables are required for different hosts. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are examples only. The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner remain the same


Supplying Power to the Cradle

The cradle receives power from one of two sources:

• An external power supply.

• When connected to the host through an interface cable that supplies power.

The cradle detects whether the host or the external supply is supplying power. It always draws power from the external supply when available, regardless of the presence of power from a host.

Using the USB Interface to Supply Power

When the cradle is connected to the host via the USB interface, the USB port can power the cradle so that an external power supply is not necessary. Note that powering from a USB host charges the scanner at a slower rate than when charging from an external power supply.

Connecting a Synapse Cable Interface

Zebra’s Synapse Smart Cables enable interfacing to a variety of hosts. The appropriate Synapse cable detects the host.

Figure 1-5 Synapse Cable Connection

1. Insert the Synapse adapter cable into the bottom of the cradle, as described in Connecting the Cables to the Cradle on page 1-5.

2. Align the ‘S’ on the Synapse adapter cable with the ‘S’ on the Synapse Smart Cable and plug the cable in.

3. Connect the other end of the Synapse Smart Cable to the host.

Mounting the Cradle

For information on mounting the cradle, refer to the documentation included with the cradle.

CAUTION If the scanner does not recognize the host, disconnect the power supply, then reconnect after connecting the host cable.

NOTE Refer to the Synapse Interface Guide provided with the Synapse cable for more information.

1. Insert a coin or flathead screwdriver in the slot at the base of the scanner, then turn the slot counterclockwise to release the latch.

2. Lift the latch.

3. If a battery is already installed, turn the scanner upright to slide the battery out.

4. Slide the new battery into the chamber, with the rounded side toward the back and the contacts facing into the chamber.

Figure 1-6 Inserting the Battery

5. Close the latch.

6. Insert a coin or flathead screwdriver in the slot at the base of the scanner, press down gently, and turn the slot clockwise to lock the latch in place.


Removing the Battery

To remove the battery:

1. Insert a coin or flathead screwdriver in the slot at the base of the scanner, then turn the slot counterclockwise to release the latch.

2. Lift the latch.

3. Turn the scanner upright to slide the battery out.

Charging the Scanner Battery in the CradleFor best performance, fully charge the scanner battery before using the scanner for the first time. To charge the scanner battery, place the scanner in the cradle (see Inserting the Scanner in the Cradle on page 1-9). The battery begins charging when the scanner LED indicator starts flashing green. A complete charge of a fully discharged battery can take up to four hours using external power and up to 10 hours using the interface cable.

Charge within the recommended temperature of 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C) nominal, 41° to 95° F (5° to 35° C) ideal.

For information on maximizing battery life, see Battery Maintenance on page 3-1.

Scanner Charging LED

The scanner’s green LED indicates charging activity (see Table 2-2 on page 2-4). If the scanner is charging in fast mode (non-bus powered mode), the green LED blinks at a fast rate. If the scanner is charging in slow mode (bus-powered mode), the LED blinks at a slow rate.

If the scanner’s red LED begins flashing, indicating a charging problem, remove the scanner from the cradle and replace the battery. If the red LED continues flashing, contact the Zebra Global Customer Support Center.


Inserting the Scanner in the CradleTo insert the scanner in the cradle:

1. Insert the scanner into the cradle top first.

2. Push the handle until it clicks into place, engaging the contacts in the cradle and scanner.

Figure 1-7 Inserting the Scanner in the Cradle


Sending Data to the Host ComputerThe cradle receives data from the scanner via a wireless radio connection and transmits it to the host computer via the host cable. The scanner and cradle must be paired for successful wireless communication.

Pairing

Pairing registers a scanner to the cradle such that the scanner and cradle can exchange information. The STB3578 and FLB3578 operate in two modes: Point-to-Point and Multipoint-to-Point. In Point-to-Point mode, pair the scanner to the cradle either by inserting it in the cradle (if pairing on insertion is enabled), or by scanning the pairing bar code. In Multipoint-to-Point mode, you can pair up to three scanners to one cradle. To use this feature, scan the multipoint bar code in Multipoint-to-Point Communication on page 4-20.

The cradle includes pairing bar codes on both its front and back. To pair the scanner with the cradle, scan a pairing bar code. A high-low-high-low beep sequence followed by a low-high beep sequence indicates successful pairing and connection to the remote device. A long low, long high beep sequence indicates unsuccessful pairing.

Lost Connection to Host

If scanned data does not transmit to the cradle's host, ensure that all cables are firmly inserted and the power supply is connected to an appropriate AC outlet, if applicable. If scanned data still does not transmit to the host, reestablish a connection with the host:

1. Disconnect the power supply from the cradle.

2. Disconnect the host interface cable from the cradle.

3. Wait three seconds.

4. Reconnect the host interface cable to the cradle.

5. Reconnect the power supply to the cradle, if the host requires.

6. Reestablish pairing with the cradle by scanning the pairing bar code.

Configuring the ScannerUse the bar codes in this manual or the 123Scan configuration program to configure the scanner. See Chapter 5, User Preferences and each host chapter for information about programming the scanner using bar code menus. See Chapter 10, 123Scan to configure the scanner using this configuration program. 123Scan includes a help file.

Radio CommunicationsThe scanner can communicate with remote devices via Bluetooth Technology Profile Support, or by pairing with a cradle. For radio communication parameters, detailed information about operational modes, Bluetooth Technology Profile Support and pairing, see Chapter 4, Radio Communications.

NOTE The pairing bar code that connects the scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.

Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.

Chapter 2 Scanning

IntroductionThis chapter provides beeper and LED definitions, scanning techniques, general scanning instructions and tips, and decode zone diagrams.

Beeper DefinitionsThe scanner emits different beeper sequences and patterns to indicate its status. Table 2-1 defines beep sequences that occur during both normal scanning and while programming the scanner.

Table 2-1 Standard Beeper Definitions

Beeper Sequence Indication

Standard Use

Short low-short medium-short high beeps Power up.

One short high beep A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is enabled).

Four long low beeps A communication error occurred while transmitting a scanned symbol to a host. The data is ignored. This occurs if the scanner is not properly configured or if the scanner has disconnected from the cradle.

Low beep The scanner detects power when inserted into a cradle.

Note: This feature can be disabled.

Low-high-low-high beeps Out of memory - the scanner cannot store the new bar code data.

The scanner was inserted in an incompatible/older cradle.

Four short high beeps Low battery indication.

Five long low beeps Conversion or format error.

Wireless Operation

Short low-high beeps Scanner has paired with the cradle.


Short high-low beeps Scanner has unpaired with the cradle.

Note: When connected to a remote device using SPP or HID, if a disconnect beep sequence sounds immediately after scanning a bar code, check the host device to determine if it received the transmitted data. The scanner may have transmitted the last bar code scanned after losing the connection.

Long low-long high beeps Unsuccessful pairing attempt. See Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-15.

Long low-long high-long low-long high beeps

Remote device rejected connection attempt, possibly due to an attempt to pair with a cradle that is already paired with the maximum number of scanners.

Four long low beeps 1. A transmission error was detected in a scanned symbol. The data is ignored. This occurs if a unit is not properly configured. Check option setting.

2. When communicating with a cradle, the cradle acknowledges receipt of data. If the acknowledgment is not received, this transmission error beep sequence sounds. Data may still have been received by the host. Check the host system for receipt of transmitted data. If data was not received by the host, re-scan the bar code.

Five high beeps Emitted every 5 seconds while a reconnection attempt is in progress. See Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-15.

Parameter Menu Scanning

Short high beep Correct entry scanned or correct menu sequence performed.

Long low-long high beeps Input error; incorrect bar code, programming sequence, or Cancel scanned. Scanner remains in program mode.

Short high-short low beeps Keyboard parameter selected. Enter value using numeric bar codes.

Short high-short low-short high-short low beeps

Successful program exit with change in the parameter setting.

ADF Programming Error Indications

Low-high-low-high beeps Out of rule memory. Erase some existing rules, then try to save rule again. (It is not necessary to re-enter the current rule.)

An LS3578 scanner was inserted into an STB3478 cradle.

Low-high-low beeps ADF transmit error. Cancel rule entry. Rule entry mode exited because of an error or the user asked to exit rule entry.

Low-high beeps Entry error, wrong bar code scanned. Re-enter criterion or action. All previously entered criteria and actions are retained. Criteria or action list is too long for a rule.

Host Specific

USB Only

Four high beeps The scanner did not complete initialization. Wait several seconds and scan again.

Short low-short medium-short high beeps (power-up sequence)

The scanner scanned a USB device type. The scanner must establish communication with the bus before it can operate at the highest power level.

Short low-short medium-short high beeps (power-up sequence) occur more than once

The USB bus may cause power to the scanner to cycle on and off more than once. This is normal and usually happens when the host PC cold boots.

RS-232 only

High-high-high-low beeps RS-232 receive error.

High beep A <BEL> character is received and Beep on <BEL> is enabled (Point-to-Point mode only).

Table 2-1 Standard Beeper Definitions (Continued)



LED DefinitionsIn addition to beeper sequences, the scanner uses a two-color LED to indicate its status, and the cradle’s LED indicates charge and communication status. Table 2-2 explains scanner LED sequences, and Table 2-3 explains cradle LED sequences.

Table 2-2 Scanner LED Status Indications

012345

WRONG

012345

RIGHT


Aiming

Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection which can make decoding difficult.

Tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or back to achieve a successful decode. Simple practice shows what tolerances to work within.

Chapter 3 Maintenance and Technical Specifications

IntroductionThis chapter provides suggested scanner maintenance, troubleshooting, technical specifications, and signal descriptions (pinouts).

MaintenanceCleaning the scan window is the only maintenance required. A dirty window can affect scanning accuracy.

• Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window.

• Remove any dirt particles with a damp cloth.

• Wipe the window using a tissue moistened with ammonia/water.

• Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly onto the window.

Battery Maintenance

When batteries are stored over a year, battery cell manufacturers advise that some irreversible deterioration in overall battery quality may occur. To minimize this loss, they recommend storing batteries half charged in a dry, cool place between 41° and 77°F (5° and 25°C), the cooler the better, and removed from the equipment to prevent the loss of capacity. Batteries should be charged to half capacity at least once a year. In order to charge a battery to half capacity, take a fully discharged battery and charge it for 2 hours. If an electrolyte leakage is observed, avoid any contact with the affected area and properly dispose of the battery.

Chapter 4 Radio Communications

IntroductionThis chapter provides information about the modes of operation and features available for wireless communication between scanners, cradles and hosts. The chapter also includes the parameters necessary to configure the scanner.

The scanner ships with the settings shown in the Table 4-1 on page 4-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.

To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.

If not using a Synapse or USB cable with the cradle, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.

To return all features to default values, scan a bar code in Default Parameters on page 5-4. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

*Disable Pair on Contacts Feature/Option* Indicates Default


Radio Communications Parameter DefaultsTable 4-1 lists the defaults for radio communication parameters. If you wish to change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in this chapter.

Short low-high beeps Scanner has paired with the cradle.

Short high-low beeps Scanner has unpaired with the cradle.

Note: When connected to a remote device using SPP or HID, if a disconnect beep sequence sounds immediately after scanning a bar code, check the host device to determine if it received the transmitted data. The scanner may have transmitted the last bar code scanned after losing the connection.

Long low-long high beeps Unsuccessful pairing attempt. See Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-15.


Remote device rejected connection attempt, possibly due to an attempt to pair with a cradle that is already paired with the maximum number of scanners.

Four long low beeps 1. A transmission error was detected in a scanned symbol. The data is ignored. This occurs if a unit is not properly configured. Check option setting.

2. When communicating with a cradle, the cradle acknowledges receipt of data. If the acknowledgment is not received, this transmission error beep sequence sounds. Data may still have been received by the host. Check the host system for receipt of transmitted data. If data was not received by the host, re-scan the bar code.

Five high beeps Emitted every 5 seconds while a reconnection attempt is in progress. See Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-15.


Radio Communications Host TypesTo set up the scanner for communication with a cradle, or to use standard Bluetooth profiles, scan the appropriate host type bar code below.

• Cradle Host (default) - Select this host type for scanner(s) to cradle operation. The scanner must then be paired to the cradle and the cradle communicates directly to the host via the host interface cable connection.

• Serial Port Profile (Master) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support (see page 4-6). The scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and behaves like there’s a serial connection. The scanner initiates the connection to the remote device and is the Master. Scan Serial Port Profile (Master), then scan the PAIR bar code for the remote device. See Pairing Bar Code Format on page 4-24 for information about creating a pairing bar code for a remote device.

• Serial Port Profile (Slave) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support (see page 4-6). The scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and behaves like there’s a serial connection. The scanner accepts incoming connection requested from a remote device and is the Slave. Scan Serial Port Profile (Slave) and wait for the incoming connection.

• Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) - Select this host type for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support. (See page 4-6 for Bluetooth Technology Profile Support and Master/Slave definitions.) The scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and behaves like a keyboard. The scanner accepts incoming connection requested from a remote device and is the slave. Scan Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) and wait for the incoming connection.

NOTE 1.The scanner supports keyboard emulation over the Bluetooth HID profile. For detailed information, and HID host parameters, see HID Host Parameters on page 4-8.

2. When the scanner is paired to the cradle in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. For more information see Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-15.


Radio Communications Host Types (continued)

*Cradle Host

Serial Port Profile (Master)

Serial Port Profile (Slave)

Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave)


Bluetooth Technology Profile SupportWith Bluetooth Technology Profile Support, the cradle is not required for wireless communication. The scanner communicates directly to the host using Bluetooth technology. The scanner supports the standard Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) and HID Profiles which enable the scanner to communicate with other Bluetooth devices that support these profiles.

• SPP - the scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like there’s a serial connection.

• HID - the scanner connects to the PC/host via Bluetooth and performs like a keyboard.

Master/Slave Set Up

The scanner can be set up as a Master or Slave.

When the scanner is set up as a Slave, it is discoverable and connectable to other devices. When the scanner is set up as a Master, the Bluetooth address of the remote device to which a connection is requested is required. A pairing bar code with the remote device address must be created and scanned to attempt a connection to the remote device. See the Pairing Bar Code Format on page 4-24 for information about creating a pairing bar code.

Master

When the scanner is set up as a Master (SPP), it initiates the radio connection to a slave device. Initiating the connection is done by scanning a pairing bar code for the remote device (see Pairing Bar Code Format on page 4-24).

Slave

When the scanner is set up as a Slave device (SPP or HID), the scanner accepts an incoming connection request from a remote device.

NOTE The number of scanners is dependent on the host’s capability.


Bluetooth Friendly Name

You can set a meaningful name for the scanner that appears in the application during device discovery. The default name is the scanner name followed by its serial number, e.g., LS3578 123456789ABCDEF. Scanning Set Defaults reverts the scanner to this name; use custom defaults to maintain the user-programmed name through a Set Defaults operation.

To set a new Bluetooth Friendly Name, scan the following bar code, then scan up to 23 characters from Appendix E, Alphanumeric Bar Codes. If the name contains less than 23 characters, scan End of Message on page E-7 after entering the name.

Discoverable Mode

Select a discoverable mode based on the device initiating discovery:

• Select General Discoverable Mode when initiating connection from a PC.

• Select Limited Discoverable Mode when initiating connection from a mobile device (e.g., Q), and the device does not appear in General Discoverable Mode. Note that it can take longer to discover the device in this mode.

The device remains in Limited Discoverable Mode for 30 seconds, and green LEDs flash while in this mode. It is then non-discoverable. To re-active Limited Discoverable Mode, press the trigger.

NOTE If your application allows you to set a device name, this takes precedence over the Bluetooth Friendly Name.

HID Keyboard Keystroke Delay

This parameter sets the delay, in milliseconds, between emulated keystrokes. Scan a bar code below to increase the delay when the HID host requires a slower transmission of data.

HID CAPS Lock Override

When enabled, the case of the data is preserved regardless of the state of the caps lock key. This setting is always enabled for the “Japanese, Windows (ASCII)” keyboard type and can not be disabled.

*No Delay (0 msec)

Medium Delay (20 msec)

Long Delay (40 msec)

*Do Not Override Caps Lock Key(Disable)

Override Caps Lock Key(Enable)


HID Ignore Unknown Characters

Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is scanned, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is scanned, bar codes containing at least one unknown character are not sent to the host, and an error beep sounds.

Emulate Keypad

When enabled, all characters are sent as ASCII sequences over the numeric keypad. For example, ASCII A is sent as "ALT make" 0 6 5 "ALT Break."

*Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters(Enable)

Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters(Disable)

*Disable Keypad Emulation

Enable Keypad Emulation


HID Keyboard FN1 Substitution

When enabled, this parameter allows replacement of any FN1 character in an EAN128 bar code with a Key Category and value chosen by the user. See FN1 Substitution Values on page 5-15 to set the Key Category and Key Value.

HID Function Key Mapping

ASCII values under 32 are normally sent as control-key sequences. When this parameter is enabled, the keys in bold are sent in place of the standard key mapping (see Table 2 on page 8-13). Table entries that do not have a bold entry remain the same whether or not this parameter is enabled.

*Disable Keyboard FN1 Substitution

Enable Keyboard FN1 Substitution

*Disable Function Key Mapping

Simulated Caps Lock

When enabled, the scanner inverts upper and lower case characters on the scanner bar code as if the Caps Lock state is enabled on the keyboard. This inversion is done regardless of the current state of the keyboard Caps Lock state.

Convert Case

When enabled, the scanner converts all bar code data to the selected case.

*Disable Simulated Caps Lock

Enable Simulated Caps Lock

*No Case Conversion

Convert All to Upper Case

Convert All to LowerCase


Auto-reconnect FeatureWhen in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. This can happen if the scanner goes out of range with the remote device, or if the remote device powers down. The scanner tries to reconnect for the period of time specified by the Reconnect Attempt Interval setting. During that time the green LED continues to blink.

If the auto-reconnect process fails due to page timeouts, the scanner sounds a page timeout beep (long low/long high) and enters low power mode. The auto-reconnect process can be re-started by pulling the scanner trigger.

If the auto-reconnect process fails because the remote device rejects the connection attempt, the scanner sounds a connection reject beep sequence (see Wireless Beeper Definitions on page 4-3) and deletes the remote pairing address. If this happens, a pairing bar code must be scanned to attempt a new connection to the remote device.

The scanner has memory available for storing a remote Bluetooth address for each Master mode (SPP, Cradle). When switching between these modes, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to the last device it was connected to in that mode.

Reconnect Attempt Beep Feedback

When a scanner disconnects as it goes out of range, it immediately attempts to reconnect. While the scanner attempts to reconnect, the green LED continues to blink. If the auto-reconnect process fails, the scanner emits a page timeout beep (long low/long high) and stops blinking the LED. The process can be restarted by pulling the trigger.

The Beep on Reconnect Attempt feature is disabled by default. When enabled, the scanner emits 5 short high beeps every 5 seconds while the reconnection attempt is in progress.

Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Beep on Reconnect Attempt.

NOTE If a bar code is scanned while the auto-reconnect sequence is in process, a transmission error beep sequence sounds and the data is not transmitted to the host. After a connection is reestablished, normal scanning operation returns. For error beep sequence definitions, see Beeper Definitions on page 2-1.

NOTE Switching between Bluetooth host types by scanning a host type bar code (page 4-4) causes the radio to be reset. Scanning is disabled during this time. It takes several seconds for the scanner to re-initialize the radio at which time scanning is enabled.

*Disable Beep on Reconnect Attempt

Enable Beep on Reconnect Attempt


Reconnect Attempt Interval

When a scanner disconnects as it goes out of range, it immediately attempts to reconnect for the default time interval of 30 seconds. This time interval can be changed to one of the following options:

• 30 seconds

• 1 minute

• 5 minutes

• 30 minutes

• 1 hour

• Indefinitely.

To set the Reconnect Attempt Interval, scan one of the bar codes below

*Attempt to Reconnect for 30 Seconds

Attempt to Reconnect for 1 Minute

Attempt to Reconnect for 5 Minutes

Attempt to Reconnect for 30 Minutes


Reconnect Attempt Interval (continued)

Attempt to Reconnect for 1 Hour

Attempt to Reconnect Indefinitely



In Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) mode, select a re-connect option for when the scanner loses its connection with a remote device:

• Auto-reconnect on Bar Code Data: The scanner auto-reconnects when you scan a bar code. With this option, a delay can occur when transmitting the first characters. The scanner sounds a decode beep upon bar code scan, followed by a connection, a page timeout, a rejection beep, or a transmission error beep. Select this option to optimize battery life on the scanner and mobile device. Note that auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands.

• Auto-reconnect Immediately: When the scanner loses connection, it attempts to reconnect. If a page timeout occurs, the scanner attempts reconnect on a trigger pull. Select this option if the scanner’s battery life is not an issue and you do not want a delay to occur when the first bar code is transmitted. Note that auto-reconnect does not occur on rejection and cable unplug commands.

• Disable Auto-reconnect in Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) Mode: When the scanner loses connection, you must re-establish it manually.

*Auto-reconnect on Bar Code Data

Auto-reconnect Immediately

Disable Auto-reconnect in Bluetooth Keyboard Emulation (HID Slave) Mode


Out of Range IndicatorAn out of range indicator can be set by scanning Enable Beep on Reconnect Attempt on page 4-15 and extending the time using the Reconnect Attempt Interval on page 4-16.

For example, with Beep on Reconnect Attempt disabled while the scanner loses radio connection when it is taken out of range, the scanner attempts to reconnect silently during the time interval set by scanning a Reconnect Attempt Interval.

When Beep on Reconnect Attempt is enabled, the scanner emits 5 high beeps every 5 seconds while the reconnection attempt is in progress. If the Reconnect Attempt Interval is adjusted to a longer period of time, such as 30 minutes, the scanner emits 5 high beeps every 5 seconds for 30 minutes providing an out of range indicator.


Scanner(s) To Cradle Support

Modes of Operation

The charging cradle with radio supports two radio communication modes of operation, allowing the scanner to communicate wirelessly:

• Point-to-Point

• Multipoint-to-Point.

Point-to-Point Communication

In Point-to-Point communication mode, the cradle allows one scanner to connect to it at a time. In this mode, the scanner is paired to the cradle either by insertion into the cradle (if pairing on contacts is enabled, page 4-23), or by scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle. Communication can be locked, unlocked (default), or in a lock override state (see Pairing Modes on page 4-22). In locked mode, locking intervals must be set by scanning a connection maintenance interval bar code beginning on page 4-24.

To activate this mode of operation, scan Point-to-Point.

Multipoint-to-Point Communication

In Multipoint-to-Point communication mode, up to three scanners can be paired to one cradle.

To activate this mode, the first scanner connected to the cradle must scan the Multipoint-to-Point bar code. This mode allows a parameter broadcast (page 4-21) that clones all scanners paired to the cradle so only one scanner needs to be programmed.

To select Point-to-Point or Multipoint-to-Point mode, scan the appropriate bar code.

Multipoint-to-Point Mode

*Point-to-Point Mode


Parameter Broadcast (Cradle Host Only)

When in multipoint-to-point mode, enable Parameter Broadcast to broadcast all parameter bar codes scanned to all other scanners in the piconet. If disabled, parameter bar codes are processed by the individual scanner only, and the scanner ignores parameters broadcast from other scanners or from the cradle.

Pairing

Pairing is the process by which a scanner initiates communication with a cradle. Scanning Multipoint-to-Point activates multi scanner-to-cradle operation and allows up to three scanners to pair to one cradle. The cradle includes a pairing bar code.

To pair the scanner with the cradle, scan the pairing bar code on the cradle. A high/low/high/low beep sequence indicates that the pairing bar code was decoded. When a connection between the cradle and scanner is established, a low/high beep sounds.

*Enable Parameter Broadcast

Disable Parameter Broadcast

NOTE 1. The pairing bar code that connects the scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle. 2. Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.3. When the scanner is paired to the cradle in SPP Master or Cradle Host mode, the scanner automatically tries to reconnect to a remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication. For more information see Auto-reconnect Feature on page 4-15.


Pairing Modes

When operating with the cradle, two modes of pairing are supported:

• Locked Pairing Mode - When a cradle is paired (connected) to the scanner (or to three scanners in Multipoint-to-Point mode), any attempt to connect a different scanner, by either scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled (page 4-23), is rejected. The currently connected scanner(s) maintain connection. In this mode, you must set a Connection Maintenance Interval on page 4-24.

• Unlocked Pairing Mode - Pair (connect) a new scanner to a cradle at any time by either scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled. This unpairs the previous scanner from the cradle.

To set the cradle pairing mode, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Lock Override

Lock Override overrides a locked scanner base pairing and connects a new scanner. In Multipoint-to-Point mode, this unpairs any disconnected (out of range) scanner first, in order to connect the new scanner.

To use Lock Override, scan the bar code below, followed by the pairing bar code on the cradle.

NOTE In Multipoint-to-Point mode, pairing a 4th scanner while in Unlocked mode replaces any disconnected (out of range) scanner. However, if three scanners are actively connected to the cradle, a 4th scanner cannot connect regardless of the pairing mode.

*Unlocked Pairing Mode

Locked Pairing Mode

LockOverride


Pairing Methods

There are two pairing methods. The default method allows the scanner and cradle to pair (connect) when the pairing bar code on the cradle is scanned. A second method pairs the scanner and cradle when the scanner is inserted in the cradle. To enable this feature, scan Enable Pair On Contacts below. With this feature enabled it is not necessary to scan the pairing bar code on the cradle. If the pairing is successful, a low/high connection beep sequence sounds a few seconds after the scanner is placed in the cradle. See Wireless Beeper Definitions on page 4-3 for other beep sequences.

To enable or disable pairing on contacts, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Unpairing

Unpair the scanner from the cradle or PC/host to make the cradle available for pairing with another scanner. Scan the bar code below to disconnect the scanner from its cradle/PC host.

An unpairing bar code is also included in the LS3578 Quick Start Guide.

Enable Pair On Contacts

*Disable Pair on Contacts

Unpairing


Pairing Bar Code Format

When the scanner is configured as an SPP Master, you must create a pairing bar code for the remote Bluetooth device to which the scanner can connect. You must know the Bluetooth address of the remote device. Pairing bar codes are Code 128 bar codes and are formatted as follows:

<Fnc 3>Bxxxxxxxxxxxx

where:

• B (or LNKB) is the prefix

• xxxxxxxxxxxx represents the 12-character Bluetooth address.

Pairing Bar Code Example

If the remote device to which the scanner can connect has a Bluetooth address of 11:22:33:44:55:66, then the pairing bar code is:

Connection Maintenance Interval

When a scanner disconnects from a cradle due to a Link Supervision Timeout, the scanner immediately attempts to reconnect to the cradle for 30 seconds. If the auto-reconnect process fails, it can be restarted by pulling the scanner trigger.

To guarantee that a disconnected scanner can reconnect when it comes back in range, the cradle reserves the connection for that scanner for a period of time defined by the Connection Maintenance Interval. If the cradle is supporting the maximum three scanners and one scanner disconnects, a fourth scanner cannot pair to the cradle during this interval. To connect another scanner, either wait until the connection maintenance interval expires then scan the PAIR bar code on the cradle with the new scanner; or scan Lock Override (page 4-22) with the new scanner then scan the PAIR bar code on the cradle.

Connection Maintenance Interval options are:

• 15 minutes

• 30 minutes

• One hour

• Two hours

• Four hours

• Eight hours

Paring Bar Code Content:‘B’ or ‘LNKB’ + Bluetooth Address B112233445566

NOTE The Connection Maintenance Interval only applies in locked pairing mode (see page 4-22).

NOTE When the cradle supports the maximum three scanners, it stores the remote pairing address of each scanner in memory regardless of the scanner condition (e.g., discharged battery). When you want to change the scanners paired to the cradle, unpair each scanner currently connected to the cradle by scanning the Unpairing bar code prior and reconnect each appropriate scanner by scanning the PAIR bar code on the cradle.


• 24 hours

• Indefinitely.

Considerations

The system administrator determines the Connection Maintenance Interval. A shorter interval allows new users to gain access to abandoned connections more quickly, but causes problems if users leave the work area for extended periods. A longer interval allows existing users to leave the work area for longer periods of time, but ties up the system for new users.

To avoid this conflict, users who are going off-shift can scan the unpair bar code on page 4-23 to ignore the Connection Maintenance Interval and make the connection immediately available.

To set the Connection Maintenance Interval, scan one of the bar codes below.

*Set Interval to 15 Minutes

Set Interval to 30 Minutes

Set Interval to 60 Minutes

Set Interval to 2 Hours


Connection Maintenance Interval (continued)




Set Interval to Forever


Bluetooth SecurityThe scanner supports Bluetooth Authentication and Encryption. Authentication can be requested by either the remote device or the scanner. When Authentication is requested, the scanner uses its programmed PIN code to generate a link key. The scanner stores this link key upon pairing, so you do not have to re-enter the PIN code when moving in and out of range, switching profiles, or switching between devices (e.g., between the cradle and the application).

Once Authentication is complete, either device may then negotiate to enable Encryption.

Authentication

To force Authentication with a remote device (including the cradle), scan the Enable Authentication bar code below. To prevent the scanner from forcing Authentication, scan the Disable Authentication bar code below.

NOTE A remote device can still request Authentication.

Enable Authentication

*Disable Authentication


PIN Code

To set the PIN code (e.g., password) on the scanner, scan the bar code below followed by five alphanumeric programming bar codes from Appendix E, Alphanumeric Bar Codes. The default PIN code is 12345.

If the scanner communicates with a cradle with security enabled, synchronize the PIN codes on the scanner and cradle. To achieve this, connect the scanner to the cradle when setting the PIN codes. If the scanner is not connected to a cradle, the PIN code change only takes effect on the scanner. If security is required between the scanner and cradle, and the PIN codes do not match, pairing fails. If the PIN codes are not synchronized, re-synchronize them by disabling security, establishing a connection to the cradle, and then programming a new PIN code.

Variable PIN Code

The default PIN code is the user-programmed Static PIN Code. Typically, however, HID connections require entering a Variable PIN Code. If, when attempting connection, the application presents a text box that includes a PIN, scan the Variable PIN Code bar code, then re-attempt connection. When you hear a beep indicating the scanner is waiting for an alphanumeric entry, enter the provided variable PIN using the Alphanumeric Keyboard on page E-1, then scan End of Message on page E-7 if the code is less than 16 characters. The scanner discards the variable PIN code after connection.

Set PIN Code

*Static PIN Code

Variable PIN Code


Encryption

To set up the scanner for enabling Encryption, scan Enable Encryption. To prevent the scanner from enabling Encryption, scan Disable Encryption. When enabled, the radio encrypts data.

NOTE Authentication must be performed before Encryption can take effect.

* Disable Encryption

Chapter 5 User Preferences

IntroductionThis chapter describes each user preference feature and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features for the scanner.

The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 5-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit the requirements, programming is not necessary.

Set feature values by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved when the scanner powers down.

The scanner communicates with the host through the cradle. During scanner setup, the scanner is paired with a cradle, which is connected to the host through one of several interfaces (see Pairing on page 1-10 and the applicable host interface chapter). Each cradle can pair with up to four scanners.

If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select the host type (see the specific host chapter) after the scanner emits power-up beeps. This is only done upon the first power-up when connecting to a new host.

To return all features to their default values, scan a Default Parameters bar code on page 5-4. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

NOTE Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the scanner may not recognize the new host.

*High Frequency Feature/Option* Indicates Default


Scanning Sequence ExamplesIn most cases, scan only one bar code to set a parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code under Beeper Tone on page 5-5. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, indicating a successful parameter entry.

Other parameters, such as Laser On Time or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several bar codes. See the parameter description for this procedure.

Errors While ScanningUnless otherwise specified, if an error is made during a scanning sequence, re-scan the correct parameter.

User Preferences Default ParametersTable 5-1 lists the defaults for user preference parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in User Preferences on page 5-4.

Default Parameters

The scanner can be reset to two types of defaults: factory defaults or custom defaults. Scan the appropriate bar code below to reset the scanner to its default settings and/or set the scanner’s current settings as the custom default.

• Restore Defaults - Scan this bar code to reset all default parameters as follows:

• If you configured custom default values (see Write to Custom Defaults), this sets the custom default values for all parameters.

• If you did not configure custom default values, this sets the factory default values for all parameters. (For factory default values, see Table A-1 on page A-1.)

• Set Factory Defaults - Scan this bar code to eliminate all custom default values and set the scanner to factory default values. (For factory default values, see Table A-1 on page A-1.)

• Write to Custom Defaults - This bar code configures custom default parameters that set unique default values for all parameters. After changing all parameters to the desired default values, scan the Write to Custom Defaults bar code below to configure custom defaults.

*Restore Defaults

Set Factory Defaults

Laser On Time

This parameter sets the maximum time that decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The default Laser On Time is 3.0 seconds.

To set a Laser On Time, scan the bar code below. Next, scan two numeric bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired on time. Include a leading zero for single digit numbers. For example, to set a Laser On Time of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below, then scan the 0 and 5 bar codes. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

Laser On Time

Beep After Good Decode

Scan one of the following bar codes to select whether the scanner beeps after a good decode. If Do Not Beep After Good Decode is selected, the beeper still operates during parameter menu scanning and indicates error conditions.

*Beep After Good Decode(Enable)

Do Not Beep After Good Decode(Disable)


Trigger Mode

Scan one of the following bar codes to set the scanner’s trigger mode.

Level Trigger

Upon trigger pull, an aiming dot appears for a programmable duration of time. After this time, the aiming dot turns into a standard laser scanning beam for a full decode session. The laser scanning beam stays on until the laser-on timeout occurs, a decode occurs, or the trigger is released. If the trigger is released before the aiming duration expires, the laser shuts off and no decode occurs.

*Level

Two Stage - Option 1

Upon trigger pull, an aiming dot appears. This aiming dot remains while the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is released, the aiming dot turns into a standard laser scanning beam for a full decode session. The laser scanning beam stays on until the laser-on timeout occurs or a decode occurs. If the trigger is pulled again while in a decode session, the scanner beam returns to an aiming dot.



Upon trigger pull, an aiming dot appears. When the trigger is released, the aiming dot turns off. Pulling the trigger twice quickly turns on the standard laser scanning beam for a full decode session. The laser scanning beam stays on until the laser-on timeout occurs, a decode occurs, or the trigger is released.



Aim Duration

When the scanner is in Level trigger mode (default mode), Aim Duration sets the amount of time the aiming dot appears before turning into a scanning beam. This parameter has no affect when the scanner is in either of the Two Stage trigger modes. See Trigger Mode on page 5-8 for a description of each of the trigger modes.

The aim duration is programmable in 0.1 second increments, from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The default Aim Duration is 0.0 seconds. When set to 0.0 seconds, no aiming pattern appears before a decode session.

To set an aim duration, scan the bar code below. Then scan two numeric bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired aim duration. Include a leading zero for durations less than 1.0 seconds. For example, to set an aim duration of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below followed by the 0 and the 5 bar codes.

*Disable No Read

NOTE If you enable Transmit No Read, and also enable Symbol Code ID Character or AIM Code ID Character for Transmit Code ID Character on page 5-11, the scanner appends the code ID for Code 39 to the NR message.


Synapse Interface

The auto-detection of a Synapse cable varies in duration depending on the type of Synapse connection. If connecting a scanner to another scanner using a Synapse cable, use the Auxiliary Synapse Port connection. Otherwise, when using a Synapse cable, use the default setting.

To disconnect and reconnect the scanner from a Synapse cable that is connected to a live host via Synapse, use the “Plug and Play” setting. Do not change this setting from the default if an on-board wedge host is enabled.

*Standard Synapse Connection

Auxiliary Synapse Port Connection

“Plug and Play” Synapse Connection


Batch Mode

The scanner supports three versions of batch mode. When the scanner is configured for any of the batch modes, it attempts to store bar code data (not parameter bar codes) until transmission is initialized, or the maximum number of bar codes are stored. When a bar code is saved successfully, a good decode beep sounds and the LED flashes green. If the scanner is unable to store a new bar code, a low/high/low/high out of memory beep sounds. (See pages 2-1 and 2-4 for all beeper and LED definitions.)

In all modes, calculate the amount of data (number of bar codes) the scanner can store as follows:

Number of storable bar codes = 2,000 bytes of memory / (number of characters in the bar code + 3).

Modes of Operation

• Normal (default) - Do not batch data. The scanner attempts to transmit every scanned bar code.

• Out of Range Batch Mode - The scanner starts storing bar code data when it loses its connection to a remote device (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks out of range). Data transmission is triggered by reestablishing the connection with the remote device (for example, when a user holding the scanner walks back into range).

• Standard Batch Mode - The scanner starts storing bar code data after Enter Batch Mode is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by scanning Send Batch Data.

• Cradle Contact Batch Mode - The scanner starts storing bar code data when Enter Batch Mode is scanned. Data transmission is triggered by insertion of the scanner into the cradle.

In all modes, transmissions are halted if the scanner is moved out of range. The scanner resumes when it is back in range. If a bar code is scanned while batch data is transmitted it is appended to the end of the batched data; parameter bar codes are not stored.

NOTE Transmission is halted if the connection to the remote device is lost.

NOTE If the scanner is removed from the cradle during batch data transfer, transmission halts until the scanner is re-inserted in the cradle.

Chapter 6 Keyboard Wedge Interface

IntroductionThis chapter provides instructions for programming the scanner for keyboard wedge host interface, used to connect the scanner between the keyboard and host computer. The scanner translates the bar code data into keystrokes, and transmits the information to the host computer via the cradle interface. The host computer accepts the keystrokes as if they originated from the keyboard.

This interface adds bar code reading functionality to a system designed for manual keyboard input. In this mode the keyboard keystrokes are simply passed through.

Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

*North American Feature/Option* Indicates Default

Chapter 7 RS-232 Interface

IntroductionThis chapter provides instructions for programming the scanner to interface with an RS-232 host interface. The RS-232 interface is used to attach the cradle to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (i.e., COM port).

If the particular host is not listed in Table 7-2, set the communication parameters to match the host device. Refer to the documentation for the host device.

Throughout the bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

NOTE This scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which interface with most system architectures. For system architectures requiring RS-232C signal levels, Zebra offers different cables providing the TTL to RS-232C conversion. Contact the Zebra Global Customer Support Center for more information.

*Baud Rate 9600 Feature/Option* Indicates Default


Connecting an RS-232 InterfaceThis connection is made directly from the cradle to the host computer.

Figure 7-1 RS-232 Direct Connection

1. Attach the modular connector of the RS-232 interface cable to the cable interface port on the cradle. See Connecting the Cradle on page 1-4.

2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cable to the serial port on the host.

3. If required, connect the power supply to the cradle.

4. Ensure that all connections are secure.


6. Select the RS-232 host type by scanning the appropriate bar code from RS-232 Host Types on page 7-6.

7. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.

Baud Rate

Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the scanner’s baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. Otherwise, data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form.

Baud Rate 600

Baud Rate 1200

Baud Rate 2400


Baud Rate (continued)

Baud Rate 4800

*Baud Rate 9600

Baud Rate 19,200

Baud Rate 38,400


Parity

A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements.

Select Odd parity to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.

Odd

Select Even parity to set the parity bit value to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.

Even

Select Mark parity and the parity bit is always 1.

Mark


Parity (continued)

Select Space parity and the parity bit is always 0.

Space

Select None when no parity bit is required.

*None

Check Receive Errors

Select whether or not to check the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above.

*Check For Received Errors (Enable)

Do Not Check For Received Errors (Disable)


Stop Bit Select

The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements.

*1 Stop Bit

2 Stop Bits

Data Bits

This parameter allows the scanner to interface with devices requiring a 7-bit or 8-bit ASCII protocol.

7-Bit

*8-Bit


Hardware Handshaking

The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS).

If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available. If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is selected, scan data is transmitted according to the following sequence:

• The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to de-assert the CTS line. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and any scanned data is lost.

• When the CTS line is de-asserted, the scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, data is transmitted. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is still de-asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and discards the data.

• When data transmission is complete, the scanner de-asserts RTS 10 msec after sending the last character.

• The host should respond by de-asserting CTS. The scanner checks for a de-asserted CTS upon the next transmission of data.

During the transmission of data, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is de-asserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the transmission is aborted, the scanner sounds a transmission error, and the data is discarded.

If this communications sequence fails, the scanner issues an error indication. In this case, the data is lost and must be rescanned.

If Hardware Handshaking and Software Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence.

None

Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired.

*None

Standard RTS/CTS

Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking.

Standard RTS/CTS

NOTE The DTR signal is jumpered (set) to the active state.


Hardware Handshaking (continued)

RTS/CTS Option 1

When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission is complete.

RTS/CTS Option 1

RTS/CTS Option 2

When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

RTS/CTS Option 2

RTS/CTS Option 3

When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete.

RTS/CTS Option 3


Software Handshaking

This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardware handshaking. There are five options.

If Software Handshaking and Hardware Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence.

None

When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately. No response is expected from the host.

*None

ACK/NAK

When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the scanner does not get a response in this time, it issues an error indication and discards the data. There are no retries when a time-out occurs.

ACK/NAK


Software Handshaking (continued)

ENQ

When this option is selected, the scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If an ENQ is not received within the Host Serial Response Time-out, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every Host Serial Response Time-out to prevent transmission errors.

ENQ

ACK/NAK with ENQ

This combines the two previous options. For re-transmissions of data, due to a NAK from the host, an additional ENQ is not required.

ACK/NAK with ENQ

XON/XOFF

An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF:

• XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If the XON is not received within this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

• XOFF is received during a transmission. Data transmission then stops after sending the current byte. When the scanner receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data message. The scanner waits up to 30 seconds for the XON.

XON/XOFF


Host Serial Response Time-out

This parameter specifies how long the scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error has occurred. This only applies when in one of the ACK/NAK Software Handshaking modes, or RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking option.

*Minimum: 2 sec

Low: 2.5 Sec

Medium: 5 Sec

High: 7.5 Sec

Maximum: 9.9 Sec

NOTE This parameter does not apply to the Wincor-Nixdorf RS-232 Mode A/B and the OPOS/JPOS host types.


RTS Line State

This parameter sets the idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. Scan a bar code below to select Low RTS or High RTS line state.

*Host: Low RTS

Host: High RTS

Beep on <BEL>

Point-to-Point Mode Only

When this parameter is enabled, the scanner issues a beep when a <BEL> character is detected on the RS-232 serial line. <BEL> is issued to indicate an illegal entry or other important event.

Beep On <BEL> Character(Enable)

*Do Not Beep On <BEL> Character(Disable)

NOTE This parameter is not supported in Multipoint-to-Point Mode.


Intercharacter Delay

This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay inserted between character transmissions.

*Minimum: 0 msec

Low: 25 msec

Medium: 50 msec

High: 75 msec

Maximum: 99 msec


Nixdorf Mode A/B and OPOS/JPOS Beep/LED Options

When Nixdorf Mode A, Nixdorf Mode B, or OPOS/JPOS is selected, this parameter indicates when the scanner should beep and turn on its LED after a decode.

*Normal Operation(Beep/LED Immediately After Decode)

Beep/LED After Transmission

Beep/LED After CTS Pulse

NOTE The Beep/LED After CTS Pulse option is not valid when Nixdorf Mode A is selected.


Ignore Unknown Characters

Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the scanner. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar code data is sent up to the first unknown character and then an error beep sounds on the scanner.

*Send Bar Code with Unknown Characters(Enable)

Chapter 8 USB Interface

IntroductionThis chapter provides instructions for programming the scanner to interface with a USB host. The cradle connects directly to a USB host, or a powered USB hub. The USB host can power the cradle and recharge the scanner battery, but this charging method has limitations. See Using the USB Interface to Supply Power on page 1-6.


*North American Standard USB Keyboard Feature/Option* Indicates Default


Connecting a USB Interface

Figure 1 USB Connection

The cradle connects with USB-capable hosts including:

• Desktop PCs and notebooks

• Apple ™ Macintosh

• IBM SurePOS terminals

• Sun, IBM, and other network computers that support more than one keyboard.

The following operating systems support the scanner through USB:

• Windows® 98, 2000, ME, XP, Vista

• Mac OS 8.5 and above

• IBM 4690 OS.

The cradle also interfaces with other USB hosts which support USB Human Interface Devices (HID).

To connect the cradle to a USB host:

1. Attach the modular connector of the USB interface cable to the cable interface port on the scanner. See Connecting the Cradle on page 1-4.

2. Plug the series A connector in the USB host or hub, or plug the Plus Power connector in an available port of the IBM SurePOS terminal.

3. Ensure all connections are secure.4. Pair the scanner to the cradle by scanning the bar code on the cradle.5. Select the USB device type by scanning the appropriate bar code from USB Device Type on page 8-5.

USB Series A Connector

Interface cable

USB Interface 8 - 3

6. On first installation when using Windows, the software displays a prompt to select or install the Human Interface Device driver. To install the Human Interface Device driver provided by Windows, click Next through all the choices and click Finished on the last choice. The scanner powers up during this installation.

7. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.8. Connect an external power supply if desired.

If problems occur, see Troubleshooting on page 3-2.

NOTE: Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 1 are examples only. The connectors may be different from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the cradle remain the same.

NOTE: Disconnect the power supply before changing host cables or the scanner may not recognize the new host.


USB Default ParametersTable 1 lists the defaults for USB host parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the parameter descriptions section beginning on page 8-5.

NOTES 1 When changing USB Device Types, the scanner disconnects and reconnects as the cradle re-enumerates on the USB bus.

2. Select IBM Hand-held USB to transmit data only once when an IBM register issues a Scan Disable command. If the register issues a Scan Enable command before the timeout expires, scanning can continue. If a Scan Enable does not occur within the timeout, the scanner issues 4 long low transmission error beeps, and data does not transmit. You can then scan again under the same criteria.

3. Select OPOS (IBM Hand-held with Full Disable) to completely shut off the scanner when an IBM register issues a Scan Disable command, including aim, decoding, and data transmission.

Chapter 10 123Scan

Introduction123Scan is an easy-to-use, PC-based software tool that enables the quick and easy setup of Zebra scanners. 123Scan uses a wizard tool to guide users through a streamlined set up process. Once parameters are set, the values are saved to a configuration file that can be distributed via email, or used to generate a sheet of programming bar codes that can be scanned.

Setting Up 123Scan To communicate with the 123Scan program:

1. Load 123Scan, included in the documentation CD-ROM, onto a host computer running Windows 98, XP, 7, 8 and 10.

2. Connect the scanner to the host computer using an RS-232 cable. See Connecting an RS-232 Interface on page 7-2.

3. Scan the following bar code to enable the 123Scan interface on the scanner. Refer to the 123Scan instructions for programming the scanner.

123Scan Configuration

NOTE Setting defaults unpairs the scanner with the cradle, and you must rescan the pairing bar code.

Chapter 11 Symbologies

IntroductionThis chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features for the scanner. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.

The scanner is shipped with the settings shown in the Symbology Default Table on page 11-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary. Set feature values by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences. To return all features to default values, scan the Default Parameters on page 5-4.

If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select the host type (see the specific host chapter) after the scanner emits power-up beeps.

Scanning Sequence ExamplesIn most cases, scan only one bar code to set a parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the UPC-A check digit, scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A/UPC-E/UPC-E1 Check Digit on page 11-12. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, indicating a successful parameter entry.

Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes in sequence. See the parameter description for this procedure.

Errors While ScanningUnless otherwise specified, if an error is made during a scanning sequence, re-scan the correct parameter.


Symbology Default ParametersTable 11-1 lists the defaults for all symbologies parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in this chapter.

• If you select Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals, and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.

• If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.

• If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 11-12 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.

• If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the scanner immediately transmits EAN-13 bar codes starting with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 11-12 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental. The scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do not have that prefix immediately.

Set Lengths for Code 39

The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Lengths for Code 39 may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within a Range or Any Length are the preferred options.

One Discrete Length - This option allows the scanner to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing a selected length. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only Code 39 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 39 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

Code 39 - One Discrete Length

Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows the scanner to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing either of two selected lengths. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths

Length Within Range - This option allows the scanner to decode a Code 39 symbol with a specific length range. The length range is selected from numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode Code 39 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code 39 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (insert a leading zero for single digit numbers). In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

Convert I 2 of 5 to EAN-13

This parameter converts a 14 character I 2 of 5 code into EAN-13, and transmits to the host as EAN-13. In order to accomplish this, the I 2 of 5 code must be enabled, and the code must have a leading zero and a valid EAN-13 check digit.

Scanning a single bar code below, Convert I 2 of 5 to EAN-13 (Enable), accomplishes this function.

Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5

The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Lengths for D 2 of 5 may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.

One Discrete Length - This option allows the scanner to decode only those D 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only D 2 of 5 symbols with 14 characters, scan D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length

Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows the scanner to decode only those D 2 of 5 symbols containing either of two selected lengths. Lengths are selected from the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only those D 2 of 5 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select D 2 of 5 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

D 2 of 5 - Two Discrete Lengths

Length Within Range - This option allows the scanner to decode a D 2 of 5 symbol with a specific length range. The length range is selected from numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode D 2 of 5 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan D 2 of 5 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (insert a leading zero for single digit numbers). In case of an error, or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

D 2 of 5 - Length Within Range

Any Length - This option allows the scanner to decode D 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner capability.

D 2 of 5 - Any Length

NOTE Due to the construction of the D 2 of 5 symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a portion of the code to be interpreted as a complete scan, yielding less data than is actually encoded in the bar code. To prevent this from happening, select specific lengths (D 2 of 5 - One Discrete Length - Two Discrete Lengths) for D 2 of 5 applications.

Redundancy LevelThe scanner offers four levels of decode redundancy. Select higher redundancy levels for lower quality bar codes. As redundancy levels increase, the scanner’s aggressiveness decreases.

Select the redundancy level appropriate for the bar code quality.

Redundancy Level 1

The following code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded:

*Redundancy Level 1

Redundancy Level 2

All code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded.

Redundancy Level 2

Code Type Code Length

Codabar 8 characters or less

MSI 4 characters or less

D 2 of 5 8 characters or less

I 2 of 5 8 characters or less

Symbologies 11 - 49

Redundancy Level 3

Code types other than the following must be successfully read twice before being decoded. The following codes must be read three times:

Redundancy Level 3

Redundancy Level 4

All code types must be successfully read three times before being decoded.

Redundancy Level 4

Code Type Code Length

MSI Plessey 4 characters or less

D 2 of 5 8 characters or less

Codabar 8 characters or less


Security LevelThe scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Select higher security levels for lower quality bar codes. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner decode speed, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary for any given application.

Security Level 0

This default setting allows the scanner to operate fastest, while providing sufficient security in decoding “in-spec” UPC/EAN bar codes.

*Security Level 0

Security Level 1

As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to misdecodes before others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are limited to these characters, select this security level.

Security Level 1

Security Level 2

If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed bar codes, and the misdecodes are not limited to characters 1, 2, 7, and 8, select this security level.

Security Level 2

Symbologies 11 - 51

Security Level 3

If the scanner is still misdecoding, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against misdecoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security can significantly impair the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of the bar codes.

Security Level 3

Bi-directional RedundancyUse Bi-directional Redundancy for added security for linear code type security levels. When enabled, a bar code must be successfully scanned in both directions (forward and reverse) before reporting a good decode.

Enable Bi-directional Redundancy

*Disable Bi-directional Redundancy

Chapter 12 Advanced Data Formatting

IntroductionAdvanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Use ADF to edit scan data to suit requirements. Implement ADF by scanning a related series of bar codes which program the scanner with ADF rules.

For ADF information and programming bar codes, refer to the Advanced Data Formatting Programmer Guide, p/n 72E-69680-xx located at www.zebra.com/support.

Glossary

A

Aperture. The opening in an optical system defined by a lens or baffle that establishes the field of view.

ASCII. American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters, numerals, punctuation marks and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S.

Autodiscrimination. The ability of an interface controller to determine the code type of a scanned bar code. After this determination is made, the information content is decoded.

B

Bar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol.

Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. See Symbology.

Bar Code Density. The number of characters represented per unit of measurement (e.g., characters per inch).

Bar Height. The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar width.

Bar Width. Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same bar.

Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received.

Bluetooth. A technology that provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as scanners, mobile phones, laptops, PCs, and printers over a secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency.

Glossary - 2 LS3578 Product Reference Guide

Boot or Boot-up. The process a computer goes through when it starts. During boot-up, the computer can run self-diagnostic tests and configure hardware and software.

bps. See Bits Per Second.

Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory is used to store one ASCII character.

C

CDRH. Center for Devices and Radiological Health. A federal agency responsible for regulating laser product safety. This agency specifies various laser operation classes based on power output during operation.
